Gleaner k grease point need help

I greased the gleaner k I bought last week for the first time today. Going by the manual I found every grease point except the variable traction drive. In the manual it points to inbetween the two variable traction sheave haves. I looked every where and couldn"t find the grease zerk. It says to grease it twice a day so it"s important. The manual was put out for the gleaner E lll, k, and I believe the f as well. Is there a chance it could be a sealed bearing on the k and not the E lll? Please help with any advice if it seizes up it will be a major fix. If you look at the gleaner k manual I believe it was # 25 grease point.
 
Run the variable speed to the end of the range. It is hidden until the moveable half of the sheave is out of the way. Can"t remember if it is full fast or full slow.

Ok I tried that and didn't see it but I will do it again tomorrow and check it again. Is it inbetween the sheave halfs under where that belt would be when the sheaves are all the way out or on the outside when the sheaves are all the way in as narrow as they can be? Thank you so much for the advice!!!!!
 
I "think" it is on the inside of the sheaves when the variable speed is set to the slowest ground speed. For sure it is not between the sheaves. As was mentioned, the zerk could be gone and the threaded hole hidden under dirt and dried grease. Also check the inside surface of the sheaves occasionally with a straight edge. As they wear they will form a convex surface and the drive belt will be prone to slipping and will wear faster.
 
It should have a grease fitting on the outside sheave in about the center of the hub. If it has a small hydraulic hose on the end of the shaft it will have no grease zerk though as it lubricates the sheave automaticaly from the varable speed control cylinder.
 
Sorry, I gave you a bum steer in the post below. I was thinking of the main shaft sheave instead of the transmission drive sheave. There should be two zerks there, one on the back of the inside sheave, and one on the clutch input shaft bearings. The one on the sheave gets greased every four hours, but only until you can feel resistance. Too much pressure can blow the O rings. Joe
